Control Panel
The in-session control panel provides the end-user with access to many tools and features that are useful for interacting with the remote desktop environment.
Streaming quality
Kasm Workspaces allows users to control settings that affect streaming quality which have direct impact not only on the image quality but also server performance and network bandwith usage.
The settings can be found in the Control Panel under the Streaming Quality section.
Quality presets
In order to simplify settings Kasm Workspaces provides a range of preset qualities that can be used to easily control the rendering quality.
